I agree with above facts. But, how do Red Hat provides interoperability in
its desktop edition http://www.redhat.com/rhel/desktop/ ? It says that it
supports third party apps and MS apps/environment. What software and
technologies are used in RHEL for this? I just want to explore the
possibilities for using CentOS as a full fledged desktop OS. I have been
using CentOS as a server since very long time.

Last time I installed Plesk on Centos there were no issues with OpenSSL.
Check the documentation on how to install it and be careful to download

Red Hat uses Wine, but only to support the most commonly used Windows 
applications like Office, Photoshop, etc.  Engineering applications like 
AutoCAD are not your "typical" application set and are not but a single 
blip on the radar.

Install Windows on KVM and try your apps.  That's the best answer I have 
for you or that you are likely to get.  I tried it before, a bit over a 
year ago and it completely sucked (due to reasons stated before).

I have been using UNIX, BSD and GNU/Linux as a desktop OS for over 10 
years.  I don't do CAD/Visualization frequently, but when I do I use 
Windows on hardware.

Ten years ago the last stanza would have been different; remember Sun,
SGI, and HP hardware. (Well, some people still use Solaris and HP-UX for
such purposes today, I recently saw a TV documentary about glaciers
where on of the scientists show some technical stuff on an C8000 :).

that article's mostly references Office document compatibility which 
presumably is via OpenOffice.

the passing reference to cad/cam software is probably referring to

Re: [CentOS] DRBD,GFS2 and GNBD without all clustered cman stuff

Hi,

yes, you need to go with the Cluster Stuff...

Regarding your Setup, i got the best experience with drbd + gfs + iscsi
export. GNBD was not as Stable than i expected. Overall Performance was
even worse, too compared with iSCSI.

[CentOS] VMware server 2 - Strange behaviour

[Georghy]

Hi everyone,
I recently install VMware on a server using PAE kernel

everything was great until I use vmware server

everytime i'm connecting to the vmware server web interface
after few seconds, the client loose server connection (server shows a 
loading page)
I can't access to my VM till I log on the server run /etc/init.d/vmware 
restart

I try to connect to the server again but connection still fails

I try /etc/init.d/vmware stop
/etc/init.d/vmware start

then it respond me :

Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor [FAIL]
   Virtual machine communication interface [  OK  ]
   VM communication interface socket family:   [FAIL]
   Virtual ethernet[FAIL]
   Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0   [  OK  ]

I retry /etc/init.d/vmware start

VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

I try /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl but it doesn't work until I reboot

I do reboot but connection fails again and I have to do the same thing 
above.

what should I do to make thing working.

/All help greatly/ appreciated

One of the fundamentals of networking - as explained to you a few posts

how else could you possibly reach it?

Hi Georghy,

I run VMware server 2 on PAE kernel.

Are you running 2.0.2?

I had the same problem as you when running < 2.0.2

2.0.2 has been fixed to work with CentOS 5.4 without that glibc trick on 
the CentOS bug tracker.
I have so far not had any problems with my installation.

I'm sure there not talking about wine.  Try utilizing windows terminal
services from RH/Cos.  That is what they mean.  That will work.

Be aware Wine does not support every Win App there is.

[CentOS] bogus error message from yum update for gmime and gmime-sharp

[ken]

When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get:

...
  --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by
package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by
package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed)
...

But both of these are already installed:

# rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp
gmime-2.2.10-5.el5.centos
gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos

So:

# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found

Running the above "yum update ..." again yields the same bogus error
messages.  I've had problems with these two packages before.  Why can't
yum understand rpm for them?


Thanks for the wisdom.

If you create a file named /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 you can 
put 
lines in it that will have 'ip route' added at the beginning and executed after 
the interface is up.  "ip route" takes some different arguments than the 
"route" 
command - see "man ip" for details.

Did this bug ever get fixed?
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3884

If you are in a position to reinstall everything, you might be better off 
running VMware ESXi on the hardware and Centos + everything else as guests.

I have this problem too sometimes, particular with the Firefox extension 
installed.  After many searches, the best solution I found was running 
the extension outside the browser.  I cannot remember exactly how I did 
it, but here is the result of a quick Google search:

cd /tmp
IP=the.esx.srv.ip # < fill in esx server ip address here
wget --no-check-certificate https://$IP/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi
mv vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip
cd ~
mkdir -p bin/vmwareconsole # make directory bin in your own homedir
cd bin/vmwareconsole
unzip /tmp/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip
cd ~/bin
ln -s vmwareconsole/plugins/vmware-vmrc . # make a symlink for easy access
vmware-vmrc # run the console

Oh boy, this sounds worse than anything I had.

Why don't you post the results of 'ifconfig -a' and 'ip route show'?

I tried a similar hack like that on a client machine weeks ago and I
would also get the page display problem and could not log in.

I also find the problem on real slow machines with not enough ram.  My
i686 machine want even run it even if it is set up correct.

On the actual server machine there is no problem at all.

 Hi everyone,
 I recently install VMware on a server using PAE kernel

 everything was great until I use vmware server

 everytime i'm connecting to the vmware server web interface
 after few seconds, the client loose server connection (server shows a 
 loading page)
 I can't access to my VM till I log on the server run /etc/init.d/vmware 
 restart

 I try to connect to the server again but connection still fails

 I try /etc/init.d/vmware stop
 /etc/init.d/vmware start

 then it respond me :

 Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [FAIL]
Virtual machine communication interface [  OK  ]
VM communication interface socket family:   [FAIL]
Virtual ethernet[FAIL]
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0   [  OK  ]

 I retry /etc/init.d/vmware start

 VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
 for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
 following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

 I try /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl but it doesn't work until I reboot

 I do reboot but connection fails again and I have to do the same thing 
 above.

 what should I do to make thing working.

 /All help greatly/ appreciated

I don't think my problem is kernel related because we have other VMware 
server running centOS and they work great with this kernel version (I 
didn't use yum -y update )

there is no problem with my internet connection i just want that to do this
cent os automatically :
route add default gw 217.20.117.1

May I ask how much virtual memory, and how many CPUs you're assigning to
the VM?

Re: [CentOS] Forgetting network settings

[Rohan Gilchrist]

So you're saying that your default gateway is an IP address that's part of a 
*different* network/subnet?

I don't know how this network has been designed, but typically I would expect 
that your default gateway would be something like

188.72.255.1

rather than 217.20.117.1 that you've mentioned earlier.

Take a look at mine for example:

[~]ifconfig
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FD:6D:4A:C1:69
   inet addr:109.xx.xxx.105  Bcast:109.74.193.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
   inet6 addr: fe80::fcfd:6dff:fe4a:c169/64 Scope:Link
   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
   RX packets:78742 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
   TX packets:67114 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
   collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
   RX bytes:35442733 (33.8 MiB)  TX bytes:12607832 (12.0 MiB)

loLink encap:Local Loopback
   inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
   inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
   UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
   RX packets:8292 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
   TX packets:8292 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
   collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
   RX bytes:1195297 (1.1 MiB)  TX bytes:1195297 (1.1 MiB)

[~]netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
109.xx.xxx.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0 0  0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0  0 eth0
0.0.0.0 109.xx.xxx.10.0.0.0 UG0 0  0 eth0

So you can see my host has .105 assigned to eth0, and the default gateway is .1 
of the same network/subnet.

You might want to check that your addressing is correct.

Re: [CentOS] Forgetting network settings

[cahit Eyigünlü]

Thanks rohan but our gateway on 24 ip block so i need to do it on way that i
send , unortunately this wont work becuase that is a global ip adress and
they can not set a gateway for each 255 block for ex. i have 5 more ip 2 of
them is on 78.159.xx.xx block so i need to set default gw to 217.20.117.1

[CentOS] the T-bird update

[m . roth]

Ok, new updates over the weekend. Just tested it on one server, with the
result that I think there's a bug with the thunderbird package. As in,
  Updating   : thunderbird
10/28
Could not parse file '/usr/share/applications/redhat-userpasswd.desktop':
desktop entry does not have group 'Desktop Entry'

 So, someone's got their cases wrong, or they forgot to put an ignore case
flag on. Should I file a bug report?

If you want to use that syntax, you can probably add:
GATEWAY1=217.20.117.1
NETMASK1=0.0.0.0
ADDRESS1=0.0.0.0

Or this should work instead:
default via 217.20.117.1 dev eth0

But, I'd consider looking for a different service provider that does 
networking in a more standard way.  If they have to overlay subnets, 
they could at least assign an IP within each one on the gateway device 
so a standard configuration would be able to reach it.

How much memory on the system? Also, how much else is running on the system?

The you read the whole page on that link (or any of it?)  It's not a 
kernel issue, it's glibc.  And there are others mentioning that they 
still have problems with 2.0.2 with some logs and workarounds.

Did you add those lines after the ones you said had worked to give you 
the host route to 217.20.117.1?  You can't add a gateway until you have 
a route to it.

What about the alternative I suggested of:
default via 217.20.117.1 dev eth0

You may have to wade through the 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes script to figure out the 
right syntax.   (And maybe you can't mix the different syntaxes in the 
same file...).

To make it even more interesting, there are also issues with using
Firefox 3.6 to access the management console. At this point, none of
the Firefox 3.6.x versions can be used to access the console on either
Linux or Windows clients.

[CentOS] iptables rules

[m . roth]

I've got a server with several ip's on eth0. I want to block all traffic
*except* to port 80 on them, but not on any other IPs, so that
eth0 is www.xxx.yyy.zzz
eth0:1 is www.xxx.yyy.ggg
eth0:2 is www.xxx.yyy.hhh

I've tried
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -d www.xxx.yyy.ggg --dport ! 80 -j DROP
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -d www.xxx.yyy.hhh --dport ! 80 -j DROP

and restarted (and several variants of this). iptables-save displays

*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [769:48207]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d  www.xxx.yyy.ggg -p tcp -m tcp ! --dport 80 -j DROP
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d www.xxx.yyy.hhh -p tcp -m tcp ! --dport 80 -j DROP
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT
<...>
and I notice it puts the ! in front of the --dport, but has no complaints.

However, I can telnet to www.xxx.yyy.hhh 443. What's wrong with the rules?

Re: [CentOS] iptables rules

[Néstor]

Maybe, I am not understanding you, but if you just want port 80 to be
available on each of those machines, all you needs is to have this in your
iptables:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j
ACCEPT

Can't you set up a default rule of drop, and then allow port 80?

The problem is your firewall is no firewall.  It blocks nothing and allows 
everything.

By setting all the default policies to ACCEPT you are blocking nothing.

See above.  Try these rules I'm sure you will get better results.  And yes, I 
dropped the stupid RH-Firewall-1-INPUT BS that RH puts in there.
Lets make a stateful firewall while we are at it also.


#Set policies to drop
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

#Setup OUTPUT Rules to allow everything outbound
iptables -I OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -j DROP

# Setup INPUT Rules to only all what we want
iptables -I INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -j DROP

Sure you can combined the output rules into one but I like it this way in case 
I need to block something from exiting the system.

You can use this tutorial to better define your rules, for example the icmp 
rule you have above you can fine tune this to only allow what is needed.  
Just remember that the rules are read from top to bottom and the first 
matching rules is used.

[CentOS] AR 9.3+ vs. savable fill-in PDFs on CentOS

[MHR]

I've tried reporting this to Adobe, but they are remarkably deaf to
such an enormous market of free software users.

At least as of AR 9.3, including the latest 9.3.1, I have been unable
to view or work with the savable fill-in PDFs that I've pulled off the
web in the last couple of months.  I have no trouble at all with them
in my Windows virtual machine, but the Linux version starts up,
displays the window/frame outline, then crashes and dies silently.

Since Adobe doesn't provide any useful channel of communications for
support to users of its free products, even though they are
essentially ubiquitous and somewhat essential (for things like this),
apparently their recent breakthrough in the area of supporting Linux
systems does not include actually supporting Linux systems users.

So, since I have made that enormous leap of logic, I wonder, is anyone
else experiencing this problem?

Yes, I know all about evince - use it most of the time, but it does
not handle the fill-in PDFs or the ones where you can save the
filled-in values.

Any other options?

Thanks.

Not to be a downer, but have you considered upgrading to a more recent
CentOS?  Yours is two whole releases out of date, and versio 6 is due
out this year, too.  That could be a part of your problem.

Instead of building it yourself, you may want to try
kmod-dahdi-2.2.1.1-1.el5 from ELRepo:

http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2010-March/000256.html
(released 2 days ago)

It is kernel version independent and kABI-tracking, so there is no
need to rebuild for each kernel update.

[CentOS] Image viewer refuses to print TIF graphics

[MHR]

I'm not sure if it's just the TIFs or if that related at all, since I
have had some luck in printing these before, but recently the image
viewer (eog - the Eye of GNOME, v 2.16.0.1) has responded to a print
command on certain TIFs with nothing.  Nothing shows up in the spool
queue for the printer, and, although the printer (a Brother 2140 laser
printer) heats up, it doesn't print anything at all.

Now, this is better than it printing hundreds of pages with
indecipherable gobbledygook on them, but I'd really prefer the image
itself.

Any ideas on what it might be?

My "standard" solution is to use either tiff2pdf or Adobe Photoshop
Elements (in my virtual WIndows box) to convert them to PDFs, which
then print just fine, but that's a real annoyance - tiff2pdf routinely
generates enormous PDF files, and it takes a while to bring the XP VM
out of hibernation, log in, open APE and run the conversion.

Other alternatives welcome

Akemi,
Trust me, I would love to but it seems none of the 3rd party repo's
build it with Oslec which is what I am after, and can't seem to do on
my own:)

[CentOS] VMWare vs. KVM - recommendations?

[MHR]

Okay, I'm being noisy today.

I have VMWare Server 1.0.8 installed on my CentOS desktop, and it runs
my XP and CentOS guests just fine, though I don't use them much.

I'm considering moving to either VMWare Server 2.0 or switching to KVM
instead, mainly because VMWS 1 is now obsolete and also because its
limitations on video configurations is really annoying - I have a 22"
1680x1050 LCD monitor, hoping to upgrade sometime in the
not-too-distant future to a 23 or 24" display with full HD
(1920x1080), but VMWS 1 does not support any wide-screen
configurations at all.  I tend to use on-screen real estate to maximum
benefit, and the 1152x864 maximum useful size I have now is just too
small for me, so I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade to something
newer/better.

I've seen some of the horror stories about problems with VMWare 2.0,
which is not at all encouraging, and I've taken a look at the Red Hat
Virtualization guides (the 5.4 one that's online in html only) and
also a PDF version for 5.2 that I found somewhere, and it _looks_
complicated.  (One of the main benefits of VMWare Server that I really
liked was that it is fairly easy to use and relatively low
maintenance, if it works, and 1.0.8 works just fine, except for the
screen issue.)  OTOH, the built-in nature of KVM is really appealing,
and if it works as well as other features of CentOS/RH/Linux, it would
be nice to be able to avoid the separate upgrade and
re-build-the-drivers-vmware-config.pl annoyance every time a new
kernel comes along.  I'm a big fan of well-integrated software,
especially in this area (virtualization).

One question I had that overrides most other considerations is how to
transfer my existing XP VM over to whichever new underlying system I
choose - is that even possible, or do I have to go through all the
reinstallation pain yet another time?  If I have to go that route,
I'll probably opt for kvm and take that plunge so I can do it once and
never again (ok, that was not supposed to be funny... :-).

Recommendations?

Thanks, as always.

What are you going to use it for? If your looking for something
to act like vmware workstation, e.g. primarily for running a
desktop OS on top of X11 then I would stick to vmware server
2. Or more ideally VMware workstation, it has a TON of
desktop optimization thingies which may be useful if your
running XP as a guest.

I use vmware server 2 on a pair of debian systems(only use
CentOS at work and there I only use ESX as my hypervisor),
without any issues. The system I'm on now uses vmware server
2 to run another copy of debian to use as a VPN client to my
company(the vpn software screws with the routing table). No
issues going to 1080p resolution(running on a 47" phillips
1080p TV). My other vmware server 2 system is running that
because the hardware is too old to run anything better(circa
2004).

No problems..

For simplicity and reliability I'd give virtualbox a try, especially  
if your talking limited # of machines and fancy displays.

I concur.  for virtualizing an OS within a desktop, virtualbox works 
great.  its very simple to setup and use, and yet quite flexible

If you don't use it often and mostly access it locally, consider VMware player 
instead of server.  (You might need to install server to create new images).

If you use VM guests a lot and have access to a windows box to run the control 
console, load ESXi on the hardware and run everything as guests.

The images are fairly portable.  Just copy the directory containing the files. 
Or install something else to run them.  ESXi is an exception because you don't 
have normal access to the filesystem - but the vCenter Converter is a free 
download and will convert about anything to anything else (I think you need 
windows for that too, but it could run under an existing VM if it can see the 
image files for the others).

It could be worse... Be very careful with third party kits, especially if
the vendor is selling batteries not rated for high discharge rates or
without any discharge rate information... Had one UPS that became ball
shaped after having worked OK for 6 months with the replacements... Suffice
it to say, the cost of a new UPS was more than the saving in buying cheaper
batteries...

[Ruslan Sivak]

Enabling the CentOS repositories and updating the util-linux package
fixed this.

Re: [CentOS] No "you have new mail" message on login

[Ian Masters]

To answer my own mail ...

I've never had to do this before but this is what did the trick to show mail on
login and ssh login:

/etc/pam.d/login - add the following line:
sessionoptional pam_mail.so standard

/etc/pam.d/sshd - add the following line:
sessionoptional pam_mail.so standard noenv

For anyone who's interested.

You're trying to install el5 packages on el3 which is never going to work.

You can get wine for el3 from rpmforge:
